Fifa President Gianni Infantino is irritating in Doha – and gives hope that the microphones in the grandstands of the stadiums will be switched off as often as possible in the next four weeks.
Gianni Infantino: «Today I feel like a Qatari, today I feel like an Arab, today I feel like an African. Today I feel homosexual. Today I feel disabled, today I feel like a migrant worker.»
Before the start of the World Cup this Sunday, Fifa President Gianni Infantino would have had many opportunities to press for concrete changes in host country Qatar. For example, he could have worked to ensure that Abdullah Ibhais, the former press officer of the World Cup organizing committee, received a fair trial.
